10 people arrested for meth on Friday

On Friday the 13th, 2010, Kentucky State Police, Warsaw Police, and the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office arrested several people in connection with methamphetamine. Below are pictures that we were able to obtain of those arrested.

There have been many meth busts lately in an effort to clean up the county from drugs.

We were only able to get these pictures and we have no information on the other two that were arrested

You can’t solve a problem by burying your head in the sand! Good Job to the KSP and Gallatin County Sheriff’s officers. God Bless John and GCVN for keeping us informed! It’s time we cleaned up this county!

why would u not want people to know about this? The people of our county are the ones that are in danger with all these damn drugs around. What if they get into the hands of little children? Think about things befrore u post some shit about not wantin this out…

Pot should be legal and tobacco should be illegal. no one has ever died of pot EVER but people die all the time from tobacco. In a few years pot will be legal because the people are starting to see that they were lied to about so called dangers when there are not any.

you people dont even know these people. there good people they just have a drug problem. they need help and rehad not to be looked down on. its hard to get off meth after your hooked you all dont understand that. you people act like you have never done any thing wrong in your life we all know thats a lie. look at jays junk yard there making meth there but they pay the cops to look out for them but yet you dont say anything about that cause hes got money.

Times are changing and people are tired of putting up with Pot and Meth Heads! I don’t always agree with the things John posts on here or his take on certain issues but we are glad John posted this. I mean wouldn’t you as a neighbor or parent want to know who your child shouldn’t be hanging out with? Wouldn’t you as a person want to know if you saw one of these people hanging out on your block that they may be up to no good? You do make a good point about these people having a problem, but when their problem becomes “Our Problem” it’s time to take care of the problem don’t you think, and that problem is drug users, drug manufacturers and drug dealers.! How many of the people arrested would you take into your home and support until they were over their problem? I can guarantee not one of these people were at that house/trailer looking for a rehab meeting. As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. How many of the people arrested actually have jobs and don’t live off the government or support their habit by stealing you and me blind? How many of the people arrested have a prior criminal record? Maybe you wouldn’t feel the same way if one of these fine upstanding arrestee’s were selling meth to your child!

Just because I don’t know Charlie Manson doesn’t mean I don’t know he was evil. You are not paying attention here. We are talking MANUFACTURING meth as well as drug use. Toxic by-products, risk of explosions, not to mention what meth does to people. And for the most part, if someone chooses to take meth the first time then they become an addict by choice. Some people of course are already addicted to crack or another drug but most CHOOSE to try meth. Hopefully, they will bust more meth labs in operation and make it harder to get.

JAYS JUNK YARD MAKING METH NO U HAVE IT WRONG ITS COUNTRY BOYS GARAGE THATS MAKING THE DOPE WATCH ALL THE TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THERE AND IT ISNT DUE TO AUTO REPAIRS HURRY UP JOEY AND GET EM OUT SO THE COUNTY CAN HAVE A RESPECTABLE BUSINESS LIKE IT USED TO BE WHEN IT WAS RUN BY THE RUTH FAMILY

I have read the comments posted on this page and i realize that most of the people who have a problem with the drug busts are the ones who are doin the drugs. Meth labs are nothing to mess with. People die all the time because of 1 persons mess up. Why would u defend this? what about all the children of this county? Do u honestly want these drugs to fall into their hands? Do u realize what damages they do to u? Honestly… Think about things before u go posting ur comments…

Wasn’t this bust behind IGA which is acrossed the street from the high school and the upper Elm and Middle school? why would anyone be okay with this and try to say that these are “good people” What about the danger they put the kids that live around them in? Not to mention all the drugs that they are selling. What if your kid was to get those drugs? Would they still be”good people”? Don’t you people think that it’s time to clean up the county from the drugs (all drugs including pot) and drinking and driving and underage drinking?

One of these individuals is my neighbor. If something would have happen to one of my children because of this persons greed and drug habit. The police would have been the last thing they would need to worry about! Simply put, get the shit out of the county.

I can say I am shocked that Sonya is on there and would never have thought she would do something so stupid! No she is not my neighbor.

are you serious and how do you know that have you seen them doing it get real this is all a joke its all about putting names on here what if it was you they were talking about then what oh my god it wouldn’t be true now would it amen

To anonymous at 11:18pm… are you stoned?
I don’t give a s*** if these are “good people” or not or how hard it is to get off meth. They made a conscious decision when they first tried it. Also, when you put other families in danger, like the neighbors of these meth labs, then they are not good people. Just wait for a baby or anyone to get hurt from a meth lab explosion, then you can give these wastes of space another excuse. Thank God the police got these people off the street, I can not wait til they arrest more, and hopefully there’s not more.

We don’t know these people?? They just have a drug problem…. Wow. More than half of the people arrested I’ve know for a very very long time. Yes they do have a drug problem and if they are running a meth lab they need to be locked up and have the key thrown away. I admit I’m not perfect, I’ve done wrong and I’ve paid for it and now so will they.

Oh My God, i can’t belive you people!!! how can you say these things about these bussiness? do you know for a fact that drugs are made or sold from them????if so why haven’t you turned them in??their is a law above the local police..and if we sit back and do nothing were as bad as the drugies!!!! if your not part of the solution then were part of the problem……..

Thank you for posting this! One of them I know personally and he has a long history of selling drugs so this isn’t his first offense. While some people may not want this issue publicized and look at it as a black mark against the community they need to take a breath and look at reality. They will be the same ones who cry about their child dying from a drug overdose from some jerk who helped get them hooked on meth. Not to mention what a meth lab does to any children in the area or the dangers of an explosion from one. I agree that pot should be legal as it’s no more dangerous than having a beer or two and not many tokers are mean when they smoke unlike drunks. And if we decriminalized pot and taxed it we could make more money for the government and less for the dealers. And that’s all I have to say.

Good job KSP and GCPD! Im relieved to hear that at least ten junkies are off the streets and where they belong. I have a three year old daughter and wouldnt feel safe to have my child grow up in a town such as this one. I been in gallatin county all my life, and it was nothing like it is now. I dont even feel safe. You never know when you could be takeing a walk down the street and a house blows up due to cooking drugs. It would really amaze you to know the ppl that are hooked on these hard drugs. As a life long gallatin citizen i am sad to say that my child wont be. Im not the one to be pointing fingers but next time you are shopping at the dollar general or simply getting your hair cut at Cut Above, just pay attention to the way people act. These are the people that are bringing MY communuity down. I love Gallatin county, but the drugies and the junkies have got to GO!

This is a JOKE,,PPL that are making and doing this crap are either on WELFARE or just to damn lazy to get a REAL job,, so dont be going and putting JAY or COUNTRY BOYS down when they are makeing a living the RIGHT way,,And have you ever just set back and LOOK at some of the nasty girls in GC,, just to say a couple names SHAWN WILSON and SHAWN ZIMMER they look like they are on something and act like it how many times has WILSON been in trouble within the past 6months and nothing being done to her but a slap on the hand,, but then again its who you know and who you blow in small towns like that,, GLAD i dont live there,,But to all you meth makers GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET A REAL JOB!!!!!!!!!

I’m curious as to how the bust came about. Did someone smell the chemical odor or was it an investigation into trafficking behavior? I think it’s interesting it was the state police involved. Were they called in to investigate because of a pattern of sales of the ingredients used to make meth? However it came about I’m grateful that they were arrested but I really hope they cannot plea bargain it down to a misdemeanor offense. Gallatin County is a beautiful county and there are more opporunities there right now for work than their have been in the past. I’m sure some of them are on welfare. I fully endorse drug tests for welfare recipients because as a full time employee I have to pass one to work and they need to pass one to get a check. And if they don’t pass and they have kids then the kids should be removed from the home and placed in a better environment. And if they don’t have kids and fail a drug test then cut them off from the welfare.

Warsaw and surrounding area has a real bad meth problem ,That’s not new new’s.
There needs to be program’s for drug addicted people to help them get off these terrible drugs that are killing our youth!
The leader’s are not getting it done they are o.k. with the status quo!
Without changes at the top nothing will change. So if we all are good with the way thing’s are then keep voting for the same sorry old and lame politician’s that have been sweeping these issues under the rug for so long it make me sick!
We need some new Leaders period………

heck yeah i totally agree no one wants to help our youth or older people they need help and like you said eveyone either don’t care or just don’t give a crap well i my self i am a mother and i do care these people need our help and need a program to help them and its about time our elected offically help them

2 more busted last night bringing the total to 12 so far great job guys keep it going bring them meth heads down attention all meth heads get the message if u wanna play with fire your gonna get burnt and the ksp is goin to douse your flames with a pretty set of chrome bracelets one size fits most wrist good job galklatin co sheriff,s dept and kystatepolice

What the hell is going on 3 of these people are out already. What good is it to lock them up if they let them out a week later just because they tell on some one esle. They will never stop if we slap there hands and let them go. They will be making meth again soon if not already. they will see when they blow there house up and kill good people and kids that are around. Please stop it before it gos that far.

the reason they are getting outta jail so soon is because they are ratting other drugies out,,but i still dont think they should get outta jail they need to do some time as well or they will never learn,,and countryboys dont do meth there doors are always open down there anyone can walk in there just about at anytime,,i think you ppl living on welfare are the ones who are the drugie,, good god you can tell by just looking at u and your poor kids that run the streets all hours of the night,, so get off your asses and get a real job if u dont wanna set in jail scums,,,and yes i think if u fail a drug test you should not get welfare anymore even if u go to rehab or not!!! losers!!!

I guess I’m naive but I did not realize how bad the problem of meth is in GC until I started looking at the Carroll County Jail site. The state police have been really busy busting people for meth this month, it’s too bad they are bonding out so quickly. All I can say is that I hope aren’t allowed to plea bargain down to a misdemeanor. It’s a shame that Rand Paul doesn’t believe meth is a problem in Kentucky. Because it’s not just eastern Ky that has the problem. It’s all over. Look at any county jail site and the jails are full of people involved in meth. It looks like there are more people in jail in our state for meth than for immigration violations. And unfortunately we can’t ship the meth problem across the border.

alot of ppl that are on welfare really need it…..and the parents to these poor kids were once poor kids themselves. Im not defending drugies, its just that i dont think its right to say that everyone on welfare is a drugie. Cuz i needed community help once and that shoutldnt make me a bad person. And it really dont matter if they have a job or not. How do u think the dealers make money? Anyway…just know that not always its ppl on welfare that have the problem

The problem is that many of them are excellent liars because they have to be to survive. How do you know someone is going to become a drug addict or a manufacturere? And I agree that some of the people on welfare learned to play the system. Why work when you can get by with someone else paying your bills? But institue the pee test for them and start eliminating them from the welfare rolls if they are testing positive. The other side of the problem is that people know who’s working under the table for cash and they encourage it so they can pay them less. That is welfare fraud. I’m just surprised that they are busting so many in the small towns when there are so many places in the county they could produce the drugs and no one would notice the smell. Why aren’t there more addresses listed on the state site as meth labs in the county? You know it’s being manufactured but there is what, one address listed? What’s up with that?

when Noah and the other people were arrested, one of the girls was 7 months pregnant. She was cookin and usin and guess what, she’s on welfare to!!! and still doin the drugs with the baby sittin there cryin, i seen it with my 2 eyes. I feel so sorry for the children that are born into these situations

im not saying that EVERYONE on welfare do drugs but 9 times outta 10 they are,,if u need state help untill you get on your feet again thats fine but to use it up like most of the GC ppl that do are drugies,,,Everyone that is listed on here for being busted does have WELFARE an i know this because im a caseworker, i also believe that we should do drug test on ppl that are getting welfare anytime we want and if they fail it they get kicked off for good,,i also think that you should only get WELFARE for 1 year after that be made to get a real job and maybe our state would not be so far in the whole on these ppl who run out and keep having kids with anyone who will have sex with them and get them knocked up,, its not only the girls its men also,, look at all these YOUNG girls having babies, hell there is a 6th grader and 7th grader that is due anytime now and they both and there family is on welfare,,and if you grow up poor and didnt like your childhood why not make your kids life better than what you had ppl just dont make since anymore,, i know this is not all about the meth here but i was answering some of the questions that were posted,most of the ppl in GC that do work a real job gets a drug test and passes thts why they still have there jobs,,its the lazy welfare ppl that are useing the drug and making them,, they are the ones who need to set in jail and stay there!!

you guys want to say something about Noah not being listed on here,, WTF about Matt Martin?? the state police and warsaw went into his house and he was growing stuff with his kids home,His 2 girls seen it all and the only thing they done to him was take him to the S,Office for about 20mins and let him go back home with his kids,,Guess he told on some people to not even of went to jail,,The police need to get there heads outta there ass and put all these scums in jail and leave them there,hell no wonder why people in GC grow an make drugs the cops let them go, and its easy money!!

I have a full time job and I am required to have a drug test at my employers discretion. So for those of us who have honest jobs who have to take the pee tests we believe the welfare recipients should too. And enough of the multiple babies on welfare. Get off you back and go to Planned Parenthood and go on birth control. A parent who is uneducated cannot educate their children. And it is a vicious cycle. Why would anyone want to work for a minimum wage job and lose their welfare benefits where they don’t have to work? They should have to work a minimum of 20 hours a week to receive benefits. They can pick up trash, do volunteer work, something to give them a sense of pride instead of a hand out holding them back. I’m not against someone needing help to get back on their feet. But when they never try to better themselves it’s a sorry site for us all. If you can’t afford one child what on this earth will you do with 2 or 3 or more? That is the welfare mentality and it needs to stop.

DonDon, it’s not the fault of the police that they get out of jail. Look to your county prosecutor and the judge. If they are allowed to get out on a low bail they will. And if they are allowed to plea bargain it down they will. The police don’t have a thing to do with it once they are booked into jail. When you are electing a judge you need to know what kind of history he has dealing with drug issues. One of the problems in every community that adds to the problem of drugs is mental illness. People who are unable to deal with life often times use drugs and alcohol to self medicate. And by law you cannot force someone to receive treatment for mental illness except when they are a threat to themselves or others. And that is only a short stay in a psych ward. It is a society issue that tends to get worse over time. With all the government cutbacks mental healthcare is among the victims. There is less money to treat addicts and alcoholics and a lot of people just consider them a disposable part of society. Look how expensive it it to lock someone up in jail. They get out, are rearrested for drinking and driving, hopefully before they kill or maime someone. They are often abusive which is destructive to the rest of the family. But the main point is this, look at who the judge is and watch how he sentences them. Does their attorney get the charges reduced? It’s time people start looking at their family members who are addicted and stop enabling them. Let’s say Rudolph has a red nose and he’s an alcoholic, but Santa lets him lead the sleigh. Santa is enabling Rudolph. He’ll be raising Rudolph’s kids soon too. Poor analogy and I’ll get hit for it but you get the point.

I’m curious as to why the next court date would disappear from a search on the Gallatin County court site? One of them was scheduled for an appearance in September I believe but now when you search all you find is the case number and the date has been removed. Does this mean they are co-operating with the prosecutor to get their sentence reduced or eliminated? I’m just curious since it was listed and now suddenly it’s gone.

It’s funny, I’ve always had a very liberal view of life but I’m begining to see how the welfare system does keep a lot of people from becoming responsible citizens. I believe in helping those who are willing to work and that all people on any type of government aid should have to work for it. Whether they pick up trash, volunteer at a food bank, or make blankets for nursing homes they should do something. And I’m so grateful now that with the internet it is so much easier to check up on people who lie about who is living in their houeshould so they can get more benefits. It used to be you could hide a lot of the information but now between the DMV, the utility companies, cell numbers and billing addresses it’s much easier to catch someone lying. Too many people work for cash under the table to keep their welfare. If they want more than what welfare gives them then they should join the rest of us and work for a living. No one hands me money every week. And if I go to work and cuss someone out I’ll lose my job. Have you ever talked to the people working in the welfare office about how they are treated by some of the people they serve? Yes, I have recieived welfare in the past. When I was laid off from a job and couldn’t find one right away. When I found one I went and got student loans and went to school full time and worked full time. I’m still paying off my student loans. There are jobs out there and there are assitance programs to help people get ahead. They don’t have make meth or sell it. There are legal ways to make money. It’s called work for a reason.

I hear there was yet another drug bust on the 28th and yet again small children were at the house when raided? Anybody know anything about this newest bust? I also saw on one of the court sites whre a local resident was changed with 10 counts of welfare fraud and a couple other charges. Maybe all the drug dealers and drug addicts will get the hint that we tax paying, law abiding citizens are tired of our tax dollars supporting their habits! It’s about time we woke up and got these money sucking losers out of our county.

I wan’t to ask everyone for advice on the Welfare System,
I am a small Buisness owner.
I have a Employee that work’s for me that told me he could only work under 25 Hrs a week .
When I asked why is that he said ” I won’t get food Stamps if I work more than that”
I said I can give you 40 Hrs if you want .
He said “no thank’s I would have to pay for food”
What should I do????

Oh my gosh, if you look at Doolin’s picture on the top of this page and then look at his booking picture from this week you see a big difference. Do these people not know what the drugs are doing to them? Look at how spaced out they all look. I hope they keep them locked up.

what do you look like ?god said dont judge untial you have been judge yea they should go to jail but not be made to look like a monster . its the drugs that make them be that why.you need to do more research on this drug .how it takes you over yea they had a choice but can you sit there and say all these things and look at GOD////and say i never let anything take me over .you know alot of things can take you over that is bad ///like diveroce’money’food’sex’there are alot of bad addictons.so you never had any you got one i can tell you for sure!!!!!judgeing people and mocking GOD///cause yes people should live by the law but what about GODS LAW/ i hate when people talk about other people they dont know .you dont know how people live in there homes you notthere maybe those people getting helpand working cant make enough to pay bills and eat how do you knowat least there trying .it only takes one person for you to find out they were getting food stamps and working under the table and all the sudden /acodring to you the world is do the same.thats what i dont agree with just cause 2or more people do some thing wrong oh boy now the the whole world is no youre wrong ///i not on or dont get any help from any one or any program but i dont talk about the whole world who does .do you help needed people do you give food or money to home less people ?problemly not hun you know some of those home less people cant work and dont have family to help them.some of them dont have life as good as you do ”great job big house new cars steak and wine for dinner. ive seen alot of big time people buying wine beer in warsaw/ what so one drug is ok but the others ant no they all ant no good but how can one man drink and one cant smoke dope all drugs kill evently all///one just takes longer one fasterso we all need to tell these peolpe will pray for you not run our mouth about u but help you pray for you cause they way things are today we all might needing food stamps soon so will every say that about you and i thought people on any kind of drugs could not get help any way .maybe they got on them after words .so dont blame the system not all people are bad

Let’s see, these people who have been arrested don’t give a fig about you, your children or anyone else. How do I know this? Because they were manufacturing METH. Which is toxic, explosive and they don’t care how they dispose of the residue or what you as a homeowner have tod o to clean up their mess. No one said not to pray for them. But I’ve seen some of them in church and do you think that makes it alright to go home and manufacture meth? Do you think they are not going to seel it to your family because you go to church? They don’t care. The only thing an addict cares about is getting their next fix. There are things people can do besides make meth to make money. No one said that we live in big houses and eat steaks and drink wine. But we dont’ spend our lives getting high or blaming others for our mistakes. Some of them learned drugs at home, either legal or illegal. Some of them learned it from their “friends”. With friends like that they don’t need enemies.

They shouldnt let any of them out, they should be charged with wanton endangerment for their neighbor’s lives that could be affected and attempted murder because when these labs go bad, they blow STUFF up!

They’ve upped the charges now to organized crime-criminal syndicate. So now you’re looking at class B felony. It’s time to make sure our kids know exactly what the future holds for them if they get involved with meth. I feel sorry these young people but they made a choice. And their choice is to destroy their lives and those of their families.

Sounds like there is a lack of love for our fellow man here! I think we need to ask the real questions that will lead to the real answers that will solve the real meth problem!
Why do people make meth? because it is worth a lot of money in the black market and it is not available in the common market!

Why is it worth so much money? because people smoke it and get high!

Why do they want to smoke it and get high?

when you can answer this question, then we can end the meth problem!!!

We cannot end it by making half the people criminals and the other half prison guards!

Lack of love isn’t the issue. It’s people who don’t want to work to support themselves who opt for the easy out of making and dealing drugs. Looking at why people do drugs isn’t the answer. IF it was then we wouldn’t have alcholism or obesity becasue they have been studied widely. Take a close look at California, in the “golden triangle” they have ramped up their production of pot because they fully expect the price to drop by 80%. That means all the lies the politicians have said about the amount of money to be raised by taxes will drop by 80%. So it isn’t going to be the cash cow everyone wants to believe it will be. Addiction isn’t pretty. And those who prey on addicts lust for drugs are pretty low.

Unfortunately, I have to say that I am from this area. I left in 2005, and never looked back. I am glad to be rid of the corruption that is still there. Gallatin County has been a bad place for many years, but some people are just too naive to realize it. I have told my family for many years to leave, but they insist on staying. It’s not just the people who are arrested that make the area bad, but it’salso the politicians, the city officials, the county officials, the police, and the citizens themselves. You talk about people behind their backs like it’s no tomorrow. There is no such thing as privacy anymore because people are always finding out about something going on.

Honestly, what the county needs is a clean sweap. Let the Drug Enforcement Agency, the FBI, and the CIA come in and do a clean sweap of the whole county. You will be surprised who you suspect is a law abiding citizen isn’t really. They would have you guys running so scared they’re would be no place for you to hide. Then let the state come in and dissolve the county.

fuck all these ppl go to hell i hope u stay in there for life that was my trailor park that u guys took down mr and sonya had kids in the trailor when they was doing there shit and roger u can spend the rest of ur life in there i hate all u guys and fuck da police all they want is my moms tralir park cause my mom owns it so fuck off!!!!! u ant getin it so stop tryin and ernie got out of jail and is still doing it
